I’m Ashley, a writer and community member based in amiskwacîwâskahikan (Edmonton). I hold a bachelor’s degree in sociology, and bring together Métis, Siksikaitsitapi, and Irish roots with a deep commitment to relational accountability. My work weaves personal narrative, political analysis, and systems thinking. From the petrochemical industry’s epigenetic legacies to physical and mental health, settler complicity, and the search for collective healing, I write at the intersections of environmental trauma, economic precarity, and the deep yearning for a world otherwise.
This space is a home for my ongoing projects: mandate letters to elected officials, research proposals for nonprofits, counter-power toolkits, and academic resources.
